One gets easily used to it, if you're used to playing on heavier pianos, but it's an important thing to consider when purchasing this keyboard. They're heavier than other keyboards, including those that use the same fatar keybed. The one caveat is the heaviness of the keys. As it's a fully featured controller, it pretty much works with everything, though, obviously, like the NI S88, it's fully integrated with their own solutions. It's yet another simple solution that just works. It comes with some magnetic label cutouts that work really well and adapt to whichever DAW you prefer. If you're using Arturia's Analog Lab, it's perfectly integrated with that, as well as with every popular DAW available. It's something to consider, though it should also take more punishment with its metal construction. If you're traveling with it from gig to gig. One thing to consider is that the keyboard is heavy. I don't know how no one else thought of it before. The sheet music stand (great for the iPad) and the little shelf for the computer are the simplest of solutions that just work. Arturia really thought of everything with more inputs and controls than one might think of. It's also quite a beautiful piece of kit. It's metal, it's heavy, and the build quality is amazing. If you're looking for a do it all, fully featured, hammer action midi controller, this is the one, with a very important caveat.
